The Blazer's Edge podcast returns after a long hiatus to take on some Mailbag questions with host Danny Marang. On the pod Danny hits on where he's been - some announcements, addresses the "trade CJ McCollum" article, then dives into some offseason questions as the Portland Trail Blazers look to gear up for what might be a quick turnaround from the 2020 NBA season.

Nason @TheNason

 How bad would CJ have to get before Blazer fans would stop overvaluing him and be ok with trading him? 3:00

Rolling it back to 2015 and thoughts on CJ’s break out series vs the Memphis Grizzlies

At the point where you can’t get better value for McCollum? 6:00
